Last year, you most definitely outran the sloth. With Tim the Sloth cheering us on, YPT hit the race course on a rainy October morning to prove that theater folks can keep up with the jocks any day! We walked, jogged, ran and crawled across the finish line … and, thanks to your support, we received an incredible $25,000.
